Savage 110 Timberline 6.5 PRC 24in Realtree Excape Rifle
Pros & cons
What works
- Fully adjustable AccuTrigger from 1.5 to 4 pounds — a legitimate match-grade feature for precision tuning.
- 24-inch fluted barrel provides optimal velocity for 6.5 PRC and reduces weight by ~7 ounces over a standard contour.
- AccuFit system allows comb height and length-of-pull adjustment in under 5 minutes with the included tool.
- OD Green Cerakote on barrel, receiver, and bolt provides corrosion resistance far superior to standard bluing.
Trade-offs
- At 8.5 lbs unscoped, it's nearly 2 pounds heavier than a compact hunting rifle — noticeable on long stalks.
- Omni-port brake is effective but incredibly loud and concussive for anyone shooting beside you.
- The 6.5 PRC chambering means ammunition costs are roughly 40% higher than common .308 Winchester fodder.

About this product
The Savage 110 Timberline 6.5 PRC is a field-ready, precision-focused bolt-action rifle designed for extended-range hunting and target shooting. It integrates a 24-inch fluted barrel with a 5/8-24 muzzle thread, a fully adjustable AccuTrigger, and an ergonomic AccuFit stock system into a durable package finished in OD Green Cerakote and Realtree Excape camo. This model represents a specific application of Savage's proven 110 action, optimized for the high-performance 6.5 PRC cartridge and demanding field conditions.
What is the Savage 110 Timberline used for?
This rifle is built for long-range precision, specifically for Western big game hunting where ethical shots can exceed 400 yards and for steel target shooting at distances from 500 to 1000 yards. The 6.5 PRC cartridge, paired with the 24-inch fluted barrel, sustains high velocities and flat trajectories necessary for this work. The adjustable stock and trigger allow the shooter to achieve a repeatable fit and break for consistent accuracy under variable field positions.
How does the Savage 110 Timberline compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The 110 Timberline is a more specialized and feature-rich platform than the more budget-oriented Stevens 334. For the shooter needing a dedicated long-range tool, the Timberline's adjustable chassis system, premium fluted barrel, and 6.5 PRC chambering are objectively superior for precision. The Stevens 334, such as the .308 Win model, is better for casual hunting or as a rugged, no-frills utility rifle where ultimate precision is secondary to cost and reliability.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 8.5 pounds, measuring 45.25 inches in overall length, with a 24-inch barrel that contributes significantly to both weight and ballistic performance. The barrel features a .830-inch diameter at the muzzle, providing stiffness for accuracy while fluting reduces weight by approximately 6-8 ounces compared to a standard contour. The weight is manageable for spot-and-stalk hunting, though noticeably heavier than compact models like the 20-inch Stevens 334 in .243 Win.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for the budget-conscious plinker, the new shooter seeking a simple .308, or anyone primarily hunting dense timber where shots are under 150 yards. The 6.5 PRC ammunition is more expensive than common rounds like .308 Winchester, and the rifle's length and weight make it less ideal for quick maneuvering in tight brush. For those applications, a lighter, shorter-barreled rifle in a standard caliber would be more practical and cost-effective.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with the assembled firearm, the installed omni-port muzzle brake, and the necessary hex wrenches for adjusting the AccuTrigger (1.5 to 4-pound pull range) and AccuFit stock components. Note that the box does not include scope bases, rings, a scope, a sling, or a case; these are critical accessories that require separate purchase and installation before the rifle is range-ready. Plan for at least $200-$400 in additional costs for a basic mounting system and optic suited to the rifle's capabilities.
Is the Savage 110 Timberline worth it at $932.99?
At just under $933, this rifle offers exceptional value for a shooter specifically seeking a turn-key, long-range hunting platform with high-end features. The cost of the adjustable chassis, fluted and threaded barrel, and Cerakote finish would exceed the total price if added to a base model. However, if your needs don't involve stretching shots past 300 yards regularly, a standard Savage 110 or a Stevens 334 will perform admirably for several hundred dollars less, which you can invest in better optics.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
- Yes, the barrel has a standard 5/8-24 thread pattern, which is compatible with most centerfire rifle suppressors. You must remove the included omni-port muzzle brake first. Remember, suppressor ownership requires filing an ATF Form 4, a process that typically takes 8 to 12 months through a licensed dealer like Silencer Central.
- Does it come with a scope?
- No, the rifle does not include any optics or mounting hardware. It is sold as a bare rifle. You will need to purchase separate scope bases (likely Savage 110-specific), rings, and an optic. I recommend a scope with at least 50mm objective lens and tactical-style turrets for dialing long-range corrections.
- What is the magazine capacity?
- The rifle uses a detachable box magazine. Standard capacity is 3 rounds in the magazine, plus 1 in the chamber for a total of 4. Higher-capacity aftermarket magazines from companies like Magpul or Accurate-Mag may be available but check local hunting regulations, as many states limit magazine capacity for big game.
- Can the stock be swapped for an aftermarket chassis?
- Yes, but with a caveat. The action uses the standard Savage 110 large shank barrel nut pattern and rear tang spacing. However, the AccuStock system is an internal aluminum chassis; replacing the entire stock assembly requires a chassis system designed for the Savage 110 action. Popular options from MDT or KRG start around $400.
